VALVE AND FAUCET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent. No. 320,880, dated June 23, 1885.

Application filed November 15, W84. (ModeL) To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that l, RIVERIUs MARSH, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Brunswick, in the county of Middlesex and 5 State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Valves and Faucets for Cans and other Purposes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in 1 plunger-valves and faucets to be applied to cans, bottles, or other vessels.

The object of my invention is to provide a cheap, durable, and convenient device for filling lamps and pouring oil or other liquids 0 from vessels, and combining with it a device for refilling cans or other vessels.

Figure 1 is avertical section of my improved plunger-valves and faucets, showing the valve closing downward and applied to a cam, jar,

2 5 or other vessel. Figs. 2 and 3 are similar views of modifications, showing the valves closing upward. Fig. 4 is a view of the top of an oil or other can, showing the outlet openings, the threaded washer, and the cross 0 bar or bridge supporting the washer.

A, Fig. 1, is aspout made of a singlepiece of metal, cast, stamped, pressed, or cut out, and forming the body of the faucet and the valve seat, I prefer to stamp or press into form the cupshaped valve-seat and opening B, the opening for the screw, and the vent-opening B before bending the spout into the desired form. XVhen made as shown in Fig. 1, and of cast metal, the center is cored out, and without a seam. If made of stamped or pressed metal, I only solder the back on both sides and the top, and also the edges of the spout, to gether where they meet at the top of the spout, from the back to the tip of the nozzle, and

make the body in a square shape from a blank piece of metal of the proper shape and size. The Valve-seat and openings are stamped or pressed into the required form, a suitable die being made for the purpose. The nozzle part 5O of the spout is also formed upward by pressure. The sides of the square part are folded upward and half way across the top, the edges meeting at the center on a line with the top screw-opening. The back opening or end 18 closed by folding up the end of the blank, and all the edges aresoldered together, as prcvlously described. I do not confine myself to any form, but vary the same as desired. \Vhen desired, the entire back can be closed by a pressed shell. v

O is a screw passing down through the top of the spout A. On the upper end of this screw is a thumb-piece, 0, made of metal or other suitable material, and on the lower end a round head is formed, as shown at C C is a shell made of metal, with an opening through it and fitting around the screw 0 and over the head 0", and extending outward and downward, so as to form an inverted cupshaped receptacle for a packing.

D is a packing made of cork or other yield ing or elastic substance, and made of suitable size to close the valve-opening B, and is held in position by the shell C binding against the packing by crimping or other means.

D is ametal washer resting on the upper side, or up against the lower side of the packingD,for the head on the lower end of the screw 0 to revolve against as the valve is belng closed by a downward or upward pressure of the screw, thus preventing the packlng from twisting and wearing out.

E is a threaded metal washer or nut resting on or attached to either the top or inside the spout or the top of a can, as shown 1n Figs. 1, 2, and 3.

F is a cap or cover, withascrew at its outer edge, covering or fitting a can, jar, or other vessel having a corresponding screw, as shown at F. This cover is depressed in the center, as shown, and the center of the depressed part is cut out, leaving a shoulder or rest around the depressed part for the purpose of supporting and giving additional strength to the valveseat. It also forms avalve-seat when thevalve 9 closes upward, as shown at G, Figs. 2 and 3.

G is a ring-packing between the cover F and top of a jar or other vessel.

H is a can, jar, or other vessel for holding liquid. The plunger-valve and screw fillerr00 faucet can be attached to the depressed cover by screws, solder, or other means. It can also be attached or soldered directly to the top of a can and the depressed cover dispensed with.

Fig. 2 shows a bent spout madein one piece without solder, and is attached to a cover, as shown. The threaded washer or nutE isinside the spout, and is supported and held in position by a bent piece, H, as shown.

Fig 3 shows a metal spout applied directly to the top of a can, the outlet from the can being only partly out out or a strip placed across the opening, thus leaving a bridge or support, I, for the threaded washer or nut E, as shown in Fig. 4. A vent may or may not be used in each of the modifications.

The operation is as follows: The faucet having been attached to a can or other vessel, or screwed onto a jar or bottle, the valve can then be operated by turning the thumbpiece C. In Fig. 1 a downward movement of the screw closes the valve, and an upward movement opens it. In Figs. 2and 3the movement is reversed, as shown.

The jars or cans, to which the covers or fan cets are attached by screws, can readily be refilled by removing the covers or faucets.

Having fully described my invention, what I desire to claim, and secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In afaucetforfilling lamps and for other purposes, the spout A, constructed and arranged from a single piece of metal so as to form the body of the faucet and the seat for the valve, in combination with the screw-plunger O, shell 0 washerD, and packing D, substantially as described.

2. In a faucet for filling lamps and for other purposes, the spout A and the cap or cover F, in combination with the screw-plunger rod (J, round at the lower end and constructed and arranged to revolve inside the packingshell 0 and against the metal washer D, and the packing D, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

3. In a faucet forfilling lamps and for other purposes, the screw-plunger C, with thumbpiece 0, and round head G threaded washer or nut E, washer D, shell 0 and packing D, in combination with the spout A, constructed and arranged to form the body of the faucet, and having vent B, substantially as described.
